Spiced Hot Cocoa: A Delightful and Nourishing Winter Treat

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup powdered cacao
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2–3 cup milk (whole or plant-based)
  • Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or low-calorie sweetener)

Instructions

1. 1. In a small bowl, combine the powdered cacao, turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground black pepper, ground black cumin, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

2. 2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk of your choice over medium heat until it’s warm and steaming, but not boiling.

3. 3. Whisk 2-3 tablespoon of the cocoa mix into the warm milk until fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. 4. Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener.

5. 5. For an extra-frothy and creamy texture, use a milk frother to whip the hot cocoa mixture until it’s light and airy.

6. 6. Serve the Spiced Hot Cocoa immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick, if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the whole milk with your choice of plant-based milk, such as almond, coconut, or oat milk.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of peppermint extract for flavor enhancement.
